Calibration of local volatility models with stochastic interest rates using optimal transport
摘要
We develop a nonparametric, semimartingale optimal transport, calibration methodology for local volatility models with stochastic interest rates. The method finds a fully calibrated model which is closest, in a way defined by a general cost function, to a given reference model. We establish a general duality result which allows to solve the problem by optimising over solutions to a second-order fully nonlinear Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation. Our methodology is analogous to Guo et al. (SIAM J. Financ. Math. 13:1–31,
